No, I'm not talking about Pluto becoming a dwarf planet; or the water planet that Isaac says he loves me to & back again (which I'm not sure if it really exists or not...but it's cute)-I'm talking about the good old fashioned "I need my space" kinda space.
Here is my scenario-we live in a 3 bedroom 3 leveled townhome-it is awesome it has all the functional space we need. The 3 boys share the master bedroom, the girls share a room, and Dan, Thelma, and I share a room! We have a perfect amount of living space for our needs right now.
Here is my problem-I have 5 small children. 5 of whom LOVE Noah's stuff. Noah is so frustrated when he builds a cool lego thingy and comes home from school and it is destroyed or his nerf gun darts are chewed up, or his favorite GI joe's pants have disappeared & may reappear on Barbie next door-hmmm....
I've tried many, many different things. What prompted this post was Brian walking past me holding one of Noah's old soccer trophies and Shamie following him holding Noah's nerf gun and Noah's "special" teddy bear. All three of those are on the do NOT touch list but yet...in plain sight they are walking around with them.
Anyone have any practical solutions for this problem? I don't blame Noah for being upset but being a younger sibling myself, I remember how cool my older sister's stuff was. If anyone has come up a good or at least workable solution for this problem I'd love to hear it.
